Popular Nigerian content creator and social media personality James Brown has responded to swirling allegations about his financial struggles, which claim that he is currently broke and homeless.
The speculation began after controversial blogger Tosin Silverdam alleged that James Brown is struggling to make ends meet and has been forced to move his belongings to the homes of his friends due to his inability to afford accommodation.
In response to these claims, James Brown took to his official Instagram page, where he shared a video addressing the rumors. While he denied being completely broke, he admitted that he is currently saving money to resume his studies in the United Kingdom.
According to the internet personality, he currently has N30 million in savings but requires N50 million to fund his education abroad. He made it clear that he is actively seeking business opportunities, including adverts and promotions, to raise the remaining funds.
James Brown stated: “Many people have been asking if it’s true that I need financial help. Well, I actually do. I need all the adverts, endorsements, and promotions that I can get right now. I have turned into a hustler because I am trying to gather money and return to school. My goal is to raise N50 million, and right now, my savings are around N30 million. I even reached out to one or two friends for assistance, but somehow, the conversation spiraled out of control, and now people are spreading different rumors.”
His revelation has sparked mixed reactions from fans and social media users. While some sympathized with him and encouraged him to keep pushing for his dreams, others questioned why someone with N30 million in savings would claim financial hardship. Some even speculated whether he was exaggerating the situation to attract more business deals.
Despite the controversy, James Brown remains determined to achieve his academic goals. He has urged his fans, well-wishers, and brands to support him by partnering with him for promotional opportunities.
